NEWBURY
NEWBURY JEANS, FIT TO PERFECTION

The Newbury Story Many years ago on Newbury Street, in the heart of Boston, a group of young students opened a small store selling jeans. At first the store sold only jeans, however as time went on, these jeans became well known throughout Boston. Not only were they unique for their square buttons, but they also became a symbol of affluence. Slowly word of Newbury spread throughout America---eventually the world. Shortly after the Newbury store was established, the young founders opened a website for Newbury. Although there is only one Newbury store, the original in Boston, people all over the world are able to acquire the world famous clothing through use of the Internet. However it has been said that there is nothing quite like buying Newbury Jeans from the original, and only, store in Boston. Newbury Jeans have become an iconic part of the Bostonian culture. After a few years, the young founders decided that it was time for Newbury to expand its horizons as they started to manufacture other clothing besides jeans which included tops, dresses, skirts as well as shoes and other accessories. As Boston is known for being a University town, Newbury has had to keep up with the changing fashions in order to cater to the fashionable young adult. Newbury is now known for being one of the world leaders in fashion. Page 1

Casual
$almon - This dress us the classiest piece of the line. The gold belt ties the dress together and gives it a sense of richness. The color of the fabric was perfect for this piece and as I combined the fabrics I knew that it was going to turn into a mini-dress.
Flowered - There are millions of different floral prints used on clothing so I was determined to create my own. This dress with the leather jacket gives the dress a hint of edge.
3
Rocker
Torn $wag - This urban look is casual with a hint of edge with torn shirt and gold lining on the jeans. This piece represents the label and it is what the label is all about.
4
Red Bolts - This piece was influenced by the rock scene .it has more edge compared to my other pieces. I used the bolt sign on the dress to represent the label.
Glam Rock
The first design I created, I knew I wanted to use bright and dark colors. The fabrics I’ve chosen for the part off the shoulder top were to look comfortable and to have a black lace tank top to match the black lace shoes. I also wanted to add bright green shorts to add more color instead of having black shorts.
Modern Retro Rock (white romper) This romper was a mix of rocker and futuristic. Metal-work detail gives it a rocker edge. The material is a striped polyester fabric. The feather hat adds flair and color to the outfit.
5
Boho
Urban Chic (pants outfit) This piece is inspired by the Lower East Side attitude that most fashionistas who reside there exude. I wanted to give a free spirited feel to it with the “hobo� printed Harem pants. The slouchy, off the shoulder shirt makes it look like no effort was involved in the process.
6
Urban For my third design I wanted to create a black top but by adding different colors and patterns to make the strapless look more exciting. I designed purple shorts to go with the top. To complete the design I added black boots and a red feather to bring it together. The first design I created, I knew I wanted to use bright and dark colors. The fabrics I’ve chosen for the part off the shoulder top were to look comfortable and to have a black lace tank top to match the black lace shoes. I also wanted to add bright green shorts to add more color instead of having black shorts. Finally the last design I created a simple fitting dress with a simple black leather vest. To complete the strapless dress I created a thick leather belt with the company logo in gold and a yellow feather. The yellow feather puts the entire outfit together with the color of the dress.
7
Evening Wear
Edgy Glam (shirt + skirt outfit) This outfit is inspired by nightlife in Paris. It’s something that’s wearable to a red carpet event and any after party. It is elegant and glamorous for the rocker chick. The top is made of tulle, the skirt is made of cotton with a lace overlay.
8
Couture
Haute Couture (tulle lace gown) This gown was inspired by the unconventional combination of lace and tulle. It is elegant yet has an edge. It is made for the unique, risky rocker socialite who is about to walk the red carpet.

DSYW was founded 10 years ago by Chris Irbin. Just out of college, Chris, annoyed with the conformed way society dressed, aimed to find a way to help people stand out. Over the course of a year, Chris gained the support of a large number of people. With the money his movement acquired, Chris decided to start a clothing store. When asked what type of clothing the store would sell, Chris Irbin replied “Da shit you wear!”, which would become the store’s tagline. Our clothes feature many pop culture references, so that people can show what they like and are about. DSYW is geared towards delivering clothes to the ones who want to stand out and be unique.

“tailored for today”
The Speakeasy Story
There once lived a beautiful and vivacious girl. She took great pleasure in growing her wardrobe. She filled it with every style; forever exploring the elegant fashion of the 1920’s. Her collection was threatened amidst the tragedy of the great depression. Her family was forced to sell all of their belongings and move to California where her father had found work in an illegal speakeasy to support the family. The thought of abandoning her carefully collected clothes filled the girl with shock and dismay. What would become of her if she didn’t have her clothing? So, she hid it away in a trunk to protect it from the greedy hands of the 1930’s. Decades passed. The girl became a woman, then a mother, and then a grandmother: her trunk all but forgotten, collecting dust in the attic. That is until her granddaughter stumbled upon the hidden chest of clothing. The girl, much like her grandmother, fell in love with the elegant clothing of the past. But they were just that- clothing from the past, and they didn’t fit well with the styles and trends around today. So, she set to work altering the clothing to fit into today’s world. Soon, her friends and family noticed her chic vintage clothing. Then, complete strangers were bringing her their grandmothers clothing to tailor! Before long, she had her own store and clothing line. She vowed that Speak Easy would tailor clothes for every decade, so no clothes would ever have to be hidden again.

OLYMPUS WEAR
Walk with the Gods One day, a man lacking cloth on his back to protect him from the harsh elements wandered around the countryside. He had been abandoned by his fellow man and took refuge in a cave far from the city. Then, a few weeks later, he happened upon an old beggar woman trapped beneath a boulder. He lifted the boulder from the old woman’s legs. The Gods saw this act of heroism and took favor on the man. That night he returned to his hovel to spend another cold night in solitude. When he awoke, the Gods had shown how pleased they were by his act that they had granted him the clothing of the Gods themselves. Thus mankind attained the clothes of the Gods.
ARES GOD OF WAR
The inspiration for the Ares look was the biker look, because the biker look gives an impression of toughness. Ares’ colors are black and red, so the color scheme for the outfit is naturally black and red. The color blocking is intended to add a uniqueness to the outfit.
HADES
GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD
Hades, god of the underworld, was my main inspiration for this outfit. The red and black color scheme is a representation of the underworld. Since the Underworld, darkness, and red and black are often associated with modern gothic/punk subcultures, Gothic and punk subcultures were heavy influences on this outfit. It also made the outfit more modern, and made the line appeal to more rebellious young people.
ARES ARTEMIS GODDESS OF THE HUNT
The inspiration for this look was the goddess Artemis. Her hunting side was portrayed in this look with the golden strings on the shoulders and the leather belt. This look is meant to be bold yet feminine. The belt is meant to create balance for the figure. The color scheme is very earthy and neutral. The red chosen for the blouse is a very bloody red, so it maintains the earthy color palette found in this look.
APOLLO GOD OF THE SUN
The god Apollo inspired this look. The short and loose blouse gives a very summery feel to this look. The shimmery shorts are golden like the sun and patterned in such way that they contrast with the blouse. The color scheme gives a warm, summery, feeling to it and it’s meant to be fun and playful.
APHRODITE GODDESS OF LOVE
Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, was the inspiration for this look. Although pink is the most common color used to represent Aphrodite, I used purple in the design due to a lack of pink fabric. The black and silver lace represents glamour and beauty, and makes the outfit sparkle.
